7.17.6 Deflection due to Shrinkage

Clause C-3 of Annex C of IS 456 prescribes the method of calculating the
deflection due to shrinkage cs from the following equation:

cs = k 3 cs l 2
(7.3)
where k3 is a constant which is 0.5 for cantilevers, 0.125 for simply supported
members, 0.086 for members continuous at one end, and 0.063 for fully
continuous members; cs is shrinkage curvature equal to k4 cs /D where cs is
the ultimate shrinkage strain of concrete. For cs , cl. 6.2.4.1 of IS 456
recommends an approximate value of 0.0003 in the absence of test data.
k 4 = 0.72( pt - p c ) / pt 1.0, for 0.25 pt - pc < 1.0
= 0.65( pt - p c ) / pt 1.0, for pt - pc 1.0
(7.4)
where pt = 100Ast/bd and pc = 100Asc/bd, D is the total depth of the section,
and l is the length of span.
